Welcome to Taekwondo!
Taekwondo means literally the art of striking with
the hand and kicking with the foot.
Choong Sil Kwan means literally the School of
Constant and Never Ending Improvement.
Meaning of
the White Belt - The white belt signifies
innocence, as that of a beginning student who has no
previous knowledge of Taekwondo.
As a new student of Taekwondo, you
are entering an ancient system for training
both your mind and body. Taekwondo is a martial art
which developed in Korea over thousands of years.
Taekwondo means literally “the art of striking with the
hand and kicking with the foot.” It is known for its
many beautiful kicks.
Our style of Taekwondo is known as
Choong Sil Kwan, which means literally the School of
Constant and Never Ending Improvement. This means
that everyone in our school, even your instructors and
black belts, are working to become better.
The first stage of Improvement
that a student enters is the Imagination level. Everyone
has different reasons for training in Taekwondo, but we
all share the fact that we have a dream. At this point
we emphasize the importance of not only visualizing
results, but also setting both short and long range goals
which will enable us to reach our dreams.

conditioning, flexibility,
